Bike shedding, layman version.
1 comments

bike shedding[1] would be arguing over the names of albert, bernard, and cheryl - wouldn't Alice, Bob, and Carol be more conventional? Or something else that is easier to understand and argue about than the problem itself.

so, no, arguing about the actual problem isn't bikeshedding :)
